Bruce: Sure, no problem at all. The I-400 looks pretty awesome. And I'll be happy to move your bike to GB VI. I guess I'll have to run it in hopes of getting my 1/32nd Zero done for it. I'm a slow modeler but even I can't believe it's been ten and a half months and I still haven't finished the thing. She's not even assembled for painting yet... 

Toshi,

Great job on the Raiden. I don't know why, but, I always thought it was a much small aircraft. Thank you for the comparison picture!

Cliff,

I would like to change my entry to a 1/350 Tamiya I-400 Submarine:

I don't think I'll have time to finish the bike, but, I will build it for your Japanese GB VI! Let me know if this is good with you?

Thanks,

Nice work on the Jack Toshi. I've never built one, but perhaps  I should. I sprayed the cockpit of my Japanese 190, but I won't photograph it until I make a little more progress.

Cheers

Tony

An opel Blitz i designed as gigant meal , already at paint stage ;)

Nicely done Raiden Toshi :) i build the same kit for one of past GB 

Bsyamato: Gee, not sure I'd call a Me-323 little! You just need a few Kubelwagens to park on the ramp. 

Toshi: Lol, never thought of the Raiden as a bumblebee but it does fit!

Welcome back Bsyamato. And lol I think you got Modelcrazy and Plasticjunkie confused. I did the same thing once or twice, the two bald eagles got me mixed up! Modelcrazy has the front on eagle and PJ has the profile eagle. 

 

LOL really    i confused with eagles  My apologies (and the seiran is high too!!)

not related about the GB but this summer out of other completed models (none jap then no updates here ..) i finished this litthe bird

That Radin is a fat little sucker! Great comparison Toshi. Now you need a Frank, Tony, Oscar ETC to help round out the home defense force.

Here is the completed Raiden and some of his 1/72 friends.  I still have another Raiden that I'm saving that for the Thunderbolt GB in October.  As always, having this be my first Raiden and my first Hasegawa kit, I've learned a lot of things that this community has reached out to me and taught me and I'm forever great full for that

I hope you enjoy the last three photos of Toshi's 1/72 Air Force!  I think it looks pretty thrilling!  I've never made 1/72 aircraft before until just recently, I think they're very cool and of course take up little space!

I want to thank those of you that had the confidence in me to be able to be part of this wonderful GB.  I don't think my skills are up to par, I just need to keep on practicing.

My plan is to use the other RAIDEN canopy as a template.
